Thanks to reader Linda for giving me a heads-up via email about this year's Get Movin' event!

Get Movin' kicks off on Saturday at several different locations! Get Movin’ is a program aimed at motivating families to get movin’ and improve their health by adopting a more active, healthy lifestyle through physical and recreational activities. Each site will provide a playbook where kids can record their "movin'" time of 60 mins per day 5 days a week over the summer. Kids will earn rewards for their activity (in addition to the intrinsic rewards!) and get to track their progress too! So, get out there and get movin'!

" Register for Get Movin’ at one of the four kick-off events. Each event is free with lots of fun activities, like martial arts, dance, games, special mascot guests, exhibitors, giveaways and prizes while quantities last. Participants will receive a Get Movin’ Playbook at registration, which will include program details, a tracking calendar, reward coupons and a t-shirt while supplies last. Visit www.get-movin.org for more program details. "
